I am sure he is one of the evil mystics from the Dunes of doom that taught count Marzo and Evil-lyn( others being Damon, Enchantress, etc), could be the unnamed on one but I doubt it, dont really know why but the unnamed one seems to be alien to eternia( think I got that from Snake warriors bio) and sent fores here just like horde prime did. He looks just like the chaos sorcerer from heroquest with long black hair, hope that doesnt cause a problem with copyrights. Arvulis can you put a pic up of him. Cant wait to see this guy in plastic form.

Sure! I just edited the first post
You may be right for the unnamed one...

Iīm not sure if iīm allowed to say something negative, if iīm crossing a line please tell me and i will delete my post BUT

Whatīs that for a name?

Iīm pretty sure the same person who named a character "THE MIGHTY" came up with the "THE GREAT".

Back in the days (1900) there already has been a wizard who was called "The Great and Powerful" but he was made to be over the top and was a fraud.

I donīt mind if such words are used when describing a character like:

The Black Wizard- The great and powerful Wizard from the unknown hemisphere.

Again totally over the top but as an information okay as a name or title i canīt take him serious.

And to round up my speech even the name the Chaos Sorcerer is more inventive than the The Great Black Wizard.
Is he black? Does he wear only black clothes? Does he use black magic? Is his biggest enemy the White Queen(wait is that to much chess here...?)?

Black is such a non explaining word, chaos is telling a lot more and shows me, the person who invented this name hasnīt giving a lot of thought.

actually if you read fantasy novels people gain titles from their looks and deeds and through the years it has been applied to all forms of media
to give a few examples: the mighty thor, the amazing spider-man, mithrandir(meaning grey pilgrim), the white rider, king edmund the just, the hero of bowerstone, the humanoid typhoon, jaga the wise,tygra the invisible, cheetara the quick and panthro the deadly.

the term great can apply if there is multiple black wizards and he is the most powerfull or the most evil

when your world turns upside down, laugh at the people standing on their heads!

You are right in fantasy novels, where you simply use your imagination itīs an easy way to lead the reader in a direction.

On the cover of a comic book itīs very common to give the title an extra "OMPF" and ad a catchy adjective.

And as i wrote in my message an explanation after the name where you can use those catch frames again, why not.

BUT.

Itīs MOTU where the imagination isnīt that much needed since it is a colorful toy(most of the time) you are holding in your hand.

In the comic itself Thor hardly ever tells anyone "Good day sir you can call me THE MIGHTY THOR" he says "Call me Thor" and seldom someone screams "Looks itīs the amazing Spider-Man" they scream "There is Spider-Man" or even Spidey.

So you see thatīs the point, as a name THE GREAT is stupid and unnecessary, if you ask me.

The characters action make them great, migthy, amazing or deadly.

And i miss good written stories where they proof they are great, mighty deadly or quick.

I also think the Black Wizard is an intriguing new character, I wish he was a part of the 30th Anniversary line! Hopefully more info about him becomes available soon. Based on Draego-Man's bio, he's got to be pretty powerful and on par with the likes of the Green Goddess, Faceless One, Moss Man, and other ancient characters.

For those who haven't seen him yet, here's the best shot of him (Taken from one of the enlarged pics of the mini-comic at the Toy Tokyo art show)...

He's so tiny in both instances that he shows up, it's hard to make out most details. His chestplate vaguely reminded me of Zodac's and his strange helmet has a spacey feel to it, IMO. So my theory is that the Great Black Wizard used to be affiliated with the Cosmic Enforcers but turned on them during the Great Wars. Going with that theme, here's my concept sketch of him...

Anyway, I think the Black Wizard would be a cool addition to the MOTUC line, I wouldn't hesitate to buy him for my collection!

This is an interesting character I'm kinda hoping we see and learn more of. He could be the Son of Skeletor, perhaps wearing a full helmet in honor of his father, or perhaps Jr. gets his face removed as well. I really don't think he's the Unnamed One-he's on teh battlefield working under Hssss! (That would be weird.)

Regardless, I'd love to get him as a figure!

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

You're right he's so similar to the Chaos Sorcerer from Hero Quest and the interestin' things are the weapons... the sword is the Filmation Skeletor Sword and the staff... I think it's from Filmation too!
